[w]TWS 13 TWD 068T Baro 1010.2 Sea Temp 29C. Air temp 28C (30C in the saloon). Trade wind Cu with some squalls forming. Approx 1.2m NE swell.
[s] A quiet night last night in 16-18 kts close on the wind with just a staysail and reefed main to keep it comfortable as everybody gets back into passagemaking. Winds down to the 13 to 14 kts range and sailing with reefed main and genoa at 45 degrees to the apparent wind. Mostly heading in a northerly direction and we intend to worry about getting our easting once out of the NE trades. Interview with CBC today. Apparently we will be on a morning show in Alberta this weekend. No fish yet. We did not fish passing the reef as the reef fish are reputed to have cigatera and the large number of sharks. We hooked a shark going into Rongerik and a sailboat we talked to near there hooked three in a short period of time.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
